Good Morning, Broncos fans! Practically nothing in terms of news relative to the Broncos. But still, plenty of good stuff to read. There are a few big college matchups today, most notable among them being #3 TCU heading to #5 Utah, and #6 Alabama taking on #10 LSU in Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, those two are both at the same time (3:30 ET). Enjoy the day, folks!

Bill Simmons has the Broncos at #31 in his power rankings and says that Pats fans are delighted to see how much of a dud Laurence Maroney has been for us. Yes, the Pats added a three and a four for dumping Maroney and Randy Moss…

Peter King’s preview. Really, enough with the predicted stat lines. I mean, how obnoxious is that whole concept?

Andrew Brandt on how much Randy Moss and Shawne Merriman will cost their new teams.

Brian Burke points us toward an interesting essay on statistics and shares a couple of great quotes from it.

The Jets are starting to fine Mark Sanchez for every instance in which he exhibits poor body language. Too bad the Broncos never did the same with Jay Cutler - they’d have gotten his play for free in that case…

A couple days late on this, but there’s another big pay-to-play scandal with the NCAA, this time regarding the recruitment of Auburn QB Cam Newton to Mississippi State.

Former NFL players have been hit hard by heart disease after their playing careers are over.

What a joke about those fines. Are they trying to turn this into flag football? Didja see the one comment by a reader on that story? Funny as heck&#8230the guy said at least no Broncos will get fined, because they never hit anyone. LOL!!!
